1. INTRODUCTION The research on training and development starts with evaluating the training in true effective

manner, the evaluation process must be appropriate for workers and the situation. The training evaluation and changes in development pull out more skills and knowledge required for the job or organisation or qualification. Effective training and development to the workers

must also consider: individual potential (natural abilities often hidden or suppressed); individual learning styles; and whole person development (life skills, in other words). Where training seeks to develop people rather than merely being focused on a specific qualification or skill, the development must be approached on a more flexible and individual basis than in

traditional paternalistic (authoritarian, prescribed) methods of design, delivery and testing. These principles apply to train and develop young people too, which interestingly provides some useful lessons for workplace training, development and evaluation.

2. OBJECTIVES • To evaluate the effectiveness of training in overall development of workforce

• To measure the growth of skill of pre and post training and development programme

• To determine the workers level of improvement towards various factors

• To identify the results of training programme provided.

3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM There have been many surveys on the use of evaluation in training and development. While

surveys might initially appear heartening, suggesting that many trainers/organisations use training evaluation extensively, when more specific and penetrating questions are asked, it is often the case that many professional trainers and training departments are found to use only reactionaries (general vague feedback forms), including the invidious 'Happy Sheet' relying on questions such as 'How good did you feel the trainer was?', and 'How enjoyable was the training course?'. As Kirkpatrick, among others, teaches us, even well-produced reactionaries’ do not constitute proper validation or evaluation of training.

4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Erik Erikson's Psychosocial (Life Stages) [1] Theory is very helpful in understanding how

employees training and development needs change according to age and stage of life. These generational aspects are increasingly important in meeting people's needs (now firmly a legal requirement within age discrimination law) and also in making the most of what different age

groups can offer work and organisations. Erikson's theory is helpful particularly when considering broader personal development needs and possibilities outside of the obvious job-related skills and knowledge. Multiple Intelligence theory (section includes free self-tests) is extremely relevant to training and learning. This model helps address natural abilities and individual potential which can be hidden or suppressed in many people (often by employers). Learning Styles theory is extremely relevant to training and teaching, and features in Kolb's model, and in the VAK learning styles model (also including a free self-test tool). Learning Styles theory also relates to methods of assessment and evaluation, in which inappropriate testing can severely skew results. Testing, as well as delivery, must take account of people's learning styles, for example some people find it very difficult to prove their competence in a

written test, but can show remarkable competence when asked to give a physical demonstration. Text-based evaluation tools are not the best way to assess everybody.

The Conscious Competence learning stages theory is also a helpful perspective for learners and teachers. The model helps explain the process of learning to trainers and to

learners, and is also helps to refine judgments about competence, since competence is rarely a simple question of 'can or cannot'. The Conscious Competence model particularly provides encouragement to teachers and learners when feelings of frustration arise due to apparent lack of progress. Progress is not always easy to see, but can often be happening nevertheless.

European Vocational Education and Training: A Prerequisite for Mobility, Felix Rauner,[2] Journal of European Industrial Training, 2013 has demonstrate that the internationalization of nearly all spheres of society and the process of European integration will be leading to the development of a European vocational education and training (VET)

architecture. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis of the “Copenhagen process” is

based on the EU documents on the realization of a European Qualifications Framework and a credit transfer system. The result of the study shows that the strategy adopted by the

European Union for the establishment of a European area of vocational education is confronted with a dilemma. The European Qualifications Framework is highly abstract since any reference to real educational programmes and qualifications and any concrete provision for the transition and for the transferability between educational levels and was avoided in order to adhere to the anti-harmonization clause. The result is an abstract, one-dimensional

qualifications framework that lacks any reference to existing VET systems and that contradicts all scientific insights from VET research and knowledge research.

Practical implications for VET policy are far-reaching. A European area of vocational education can be established only on the basis of European open core occupations and an open VET architecture, which ensures that vocational education becomes an integral part of national educational systems. The qualification of employees for the intermediary sector can be realized only as a European project.

Maping The Context And Practices Of Training, Development And HRD In European Call Centres[3], Thomas N. Garavan, Jhon P. Wilson, Christine Cross, Ronan Carbery, Journal of European Industrial Training, 2011, is utilizing data from 18 in-depth case studies, this

study seeks to explore training, development and human resource development (HRD) practices in European call centers. It aims to argue that the complexity and diversity of

training, development and HRD practices is best understood by studying the multilayered contexts within which call centers operate. Call centers operate as open systems and training, development and HRD practices are influenced by environmental, strategic, organizational

and temporal conditions. Design/methodology/approach: The study utilized a range of research methods, including in-depth interviews with multiple stakeholders, documentary

analysis and observation. The study was conducted over a two-year period. The results indicate that normative models of HRD are not particularly valuable and that training,

development and HRD in call centers is emergent and highly complex. This study represents one of the first studies to investigate training and development and HRD practices and

systems in European call centers. Affective predictors of the effectiveness of training moderated by the cognitive

complexity of expected competencies[4], Ronaldo Pilati and Jairo Eduardo Borges-Andrade, 2015, has conducted a research in training, development and education (TD&E) in

organizations has produced important results in the last two decades. Evaluation of TD&E has been a special focus of this research, which has resulted in the production of relevant

predictive models. The present study has the aim of testing a model of effectiveness of training on work, with the trainee's motivation and satisfaction with training as the antecedent

variables and the type of training as a moderator variable. Data collection with 600 participants in a Brazilian bank was conducted with measurement scales before training, at its

end and three months later. The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results indicate that the motivation of the trainee and satisfaction with training are

predictors of its effectiveness on work and that the type of training affects this predictive relationship. The key feature of the type of training was the cognitive complexity of expected competencies.

How To Measure Management Training and Development Effectiveness[5] , Garrett J. Endres, Brian H. Klieiner, Journal of European Industrial Training, 2015, MCB UP Ltd.

Successfully measuring effectiveness in management training and development can be a difficult task. Design of a valid measurement programme should include evaluation in key areas; including emotional reaction and knowledge gain measured after training interventions. Behavioral change and organizational impact measurements should be used on a longer time horizon to evaluate the progress and currency of the management development programme. Finally, research shows that maintaining a balance of the above measurements is the final key to success in measuring the effectiveness of management training and development

6. RESEARCH QUESTIONS For effective training and development evaluation, the principal questions should be:

• To what extent were the identified training needs objectives achieved by the programme?

• To what extent were the development objectives achieved?

• What specifically did the employers learn or be usefully reminded of?

• What commitment have the employers made about after training period they are going to implement on their return to work?

And back at work to verify the change in development, • How successful were the trainees in implementing their action plans?

• To what extent were they supported after the training period?

• To what extent the development of an employee has been identified? Organizations commonly fail to perform these evaluation processes, especially where:

• The HR department and trainers, do not have sufficient time to do so, and/or

• The HR department does not have sufficient resources - people and money - to do so. Obviously the evaluation method must be cut according to available resources (and the

culture atmosphere), which tend to vary substantially from one organization to another. The fact remains that good methodical evaluation produces a good reliable data; conversely,

where little evaluation is performed, little is ever known about the effectiveness of the training.

7. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research is a systematic method of finding solutions to problems. It is essentially an

investigation, a recording and an analysis of evidence for the purpose of gaining knowledge. According to Clifford woody, “research comprises of defining and redefining problem,

formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing and evaluating data,

reaching conclusions, testing conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulated h ypothesis”

Sampling Design A sample design is a finite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. Convenience sampling is used for this study.

Universe The universe chooses for the research study is the workers of automobile industry with

reference to Chennai city.

Sample Size Number of the sampling units selected from the population is called the size of the sample. Sample of 456 respondents were obtained from the population.

Sampling Procedure The procedure adopted in the present study is probability sampling, which is also known as chance sampling. Under this sampling design, every item of the frame has an equal chance of inclusion in the sample.

Methods of Data Collection The data’s were collected through Primary and secondary sources.

Primary Sources: Primary data are in the form of “raw material” to which statistical

methods are applied for the purpose of analysis and interpretations. The primary sources are discussion with employees, data’s collected through questionnaire.

Secondary Sources: Secondary data’s are in the form of finished products as they have

already been treated statistically in some form or other. The secondary data mainly consists of data and information collected from records, company websites and also discussion with the management of the organization. Secondary data was also collected from journals, magazines and books.

8. NATURE OF RESEARCH Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and characteristics

about the population or phenomenon being studied. Descriptive research answers the questions who, what, where, when and how.

Although the data description is factual, accurate and systematic, the research cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive research cannot be used to create a causal relationship, where one variable affects another. In other words, descriptive research can be said to have a low requirement for internal validity.

Questionnaire A well defined questionnaire that is used effectively can gather information on both overall performance of the test system as well as information on specific components of the system. A defeated questionnaire was carefully prepared and specially numbered. The questions were arranged in proper order, in accordance with the relevance.

Nature of Questions Asked. The questionnaire consists of open ended, dichotomous, rating and ranking questions.

http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJCIET 25 [email protected]

Pre-Testing A pre-testing of questionnaire was conducted with 10 questionnaires, which were distributed and all of them were collected back as completed questionnaire. On the basis of doubts raised by the respondents the questionnaire was redesigned to its present form.

Sample A finite subset of population, selected from it with the objective of investigating its properties

called a sample. A sample is a representative part of the population. A sample of 456 respondents in total has been randomly selected. The response to various elements under each questions were totaled for the purpose of various statistical testing.

Variables of the Study The direct variable of the research is the training needs and evaluation after training

Indirect variables are the incentives, interpersonal relations, career development opportunities and performance appraisal system.

Presentation of Data The data are presented through charts and tables.

Data Analysis Data analysis is conducted using SPSS V-15. Sample means, standard deviation and N are presented in the analysis chapter for all the variables of the study. The data are screened in order to obtain the variance between various consumer behavioural aspects. One way analysis of variance, Karl Pearson’s co-efficient of correlation, percentage analysis are discussed here.

Tools and Techniques for Analysis Chi-Square is used to test the hypothesis and draw inferences.

T-Test T-tests are used in situations where the research wants to compare two statistics. The basic utility of a t-test is that it produces a straight forward easy to interpret results of significance. In this thesis, two tailed t-tests are used after all other analysis is completed only to note the differences of assumed mean and computed mean directly. The basic assumptions for t-tests

are one random sampling, independent, measurements, normal distribution and equal variance (Jowncend, 2002). The t-test are further strengthened by the use of the Bonferroni correction test which uses t-tests to perform pair-wise comparison between group means. It controls overall error rate by setting the error rate for each test, to the experiment-wise error rate divided by the total number of tests. Hence, the observed significance level is adjusted and the multiple comparisions are being made (SPSS In. 2001).

Non-Parametric Chi- square Analysis Chi-square association test is a non-parametric test useful to establish an association between

two categorical variables. The frequency dumping in each cell of the cross tabs allows identification of the association between two types heterogeneous groups and also the nature

of cases in that particular cell. It also exhibits linear by linear relationship, and crammer’s phi-statistics to study the relationship.

From the above parametric table, the mean values indicate Hyundai (mean = 2.75), Ford (mean = 2.73), JK Tyres (mean = 2.91) and Michelin (mean = 2.39) are less than 3. Similarly the mean values of Royal Enfield (mean = 3.61), Renault (mean = 3.00), Apollo (mean = 3.49), MRF Tyres (mean = 3.05) and others (mean = 3.99) are greater than 3. But the negative t-values of Hyundai (t = -5.744), JK Tyres (t = -1.757). This indicates that the automobile industries in Chennai city, the training programme are conducted regularly in industries like Hyundai and JK Tyres, but moderate awareness on Ford. It is found workers have moderate awareness on training programmes conducted by Renault (t = 0.000) and MRF Tyres (t = 1.011). The parametric t-values indicate Royal Enfield (t = 13.171), Apollo Tyres (t = 10.455)

are more popular in providing training programmes to the workers for their personal development and career development which possess high impact on training need. The

research revealed that effective training has been provided to the workers in all aspects.

The percentages in the above table revealed that the training programme was conducted in periodical basis and the workers in automobile industry in Chennai city have conducted levels

of training in continuous process i.e Michelin (61.4%) for more than 5 years followed by Hyundai (46.1%), Renault (43 percent) and Royal Enfield (39.7%) for more than 5 years. In

the years interval 1-5 years Apollo tyres (33.3%) obtained by conducting many training programmes as per their requirement followed by Royal Enfield (32.5%) and JK tyres

(31.6%) among the workers in automobile industry in Chennai city. In recent years the percentage analysis ascertained that the workers are highly aware training programmes in

MRF tyres (69.5%) followed by Apollo tyres (49.6%), JK tyres (39.3%) and Hyundai (35.05%). Therefore it is concluded that Michelin has conducted more training programmes to their workers for effective development in their career needs.

programmes in MRF tyres (69.5%) followed by Apollo tyres (49.6%), JK tyres (39.3%) and Hyundai (35.05%). Therefore it is concluded that Michelin has conducted more training

programmes to their workers for effective development in their career needs. It is found that 249 (54.6%) workers possess very high development after training for more than 5 years in auto mobile industry. The chi-squre value indicates 107.651 the significant level at 5 percent.

11. SUGGESTIONS AND CONCLUSION Training is a key element for improved performance; it can increase the level of individual and organizational competency. It helps to reconcile the gap between what should happen and

what is happening between desired targets or standards and actual levels of work –performance. Training need is any shortfall in workers performance, or potential performance which can be remedied by appropriate training.

There are many ways of overcoming deficiencies in human performance at work, and training is one of them. Training enhances skills, competency, ability and ultimately worker performance and productivity in organizations. It followed that organizational success relied

on the skills and abilities of their employees, and this means that organizational success depends to an extent on considerable and continuous investment in training. This would

ensure an adequate supply of staff that is technically and socially competent and capable of being developed into specialists for the relevant departments or management positions. In the

organizations there is a continual need for the process of staff development, and training fulfils an important part of this process.

In other ways this research pointed out the negative reaction towards orientation training so this finding would help the management to address this low level of perceived orientation training opportunities for workers which may lead to high level of organizational outcome in

automobile industries.
